How does a Realtor find homes to show me and how do I know they are not missing my dream home?
When you first start working with a Realtor, after you find out the amount of home you can afford, you’ll discuss what you’re looking for in a home. The Realtor can take that information and set you up with direct emails from their MLS system so that you can get new homes meeting your criteria sent straight to your inbox. You’ll know these homes are in your price range and have what you’re looking for—and since the system sends you all homes matching your criteria you know you won’t miss any!
This process also allows for discussion between the clients before spending their valuable time to go out and view homes. You can weed through houses you receive to find the ones that truly interest you!
Personally, after getting to know my clients better, I start looking through MLS for homes they might not originally think could be their dream home, but fit their requirements and style. I can then educate my clients on the different aspects of the home that may not have been in the MLS system for them to see and how those homes can truly be exactly what they need.
Good Realtors are actively searching through listings to find their client’s dream home, and the automated MLS emails allow the clients to be even more a part of the process. Between the client’s eyes and the Realtors, the best home for the client won’t be overlooked!

What is the market like in the San Bruno Area?
There is not one particular market within San Bruno. There are several difference neighborhoods that each have their own unique feel and different market conditions. Depending on if you’re looking to buy for your own use, investment, or fix and flip– there’s a neighborhood in San Bruno that will have what you’re looking for.
There are many thriving “move-up” neighborhoods that have a very nice micro-climate and attract many buyers. These listings tend to experiencing multiple offers, and a lot of interest.

What makes San Bruno a great place to live?
Having grown-up in San Bruno, I’m admittedly a little biased as to the fantastic things offered by living here. But, there are a few things I think other people should know when looking for an area in The Peninsula to live.
It’s true what they say, it’s all about “LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!” San Bruno is minutes to San Francisco, so commuting is not a big hassle. It’s close to the ocean so you can enjoy time on the beach and driving along the coast. And, it’s minutes to San Francisco Internation Airport so it’s easy for friends to visit or for you to jet-off to anywhere in the world!
San Bruno also has a very diverse population and offers affordable housing including condos, townhomes, and single family homes. The weather in the area is fantastic, the schools are stellar, and there are outstanding park and recreation areas around to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. We also have great Senior Services in the area!
No matter what you’re looking for specifically, I’m sure there’s some part of San Bruno that can meet your needs. I was raised here, love the area, and love introducing new people to what my city has to offer!
